15 years here too. I turn 40 today. Grateful for this community. I quit social media years ago but still enjoy the discourse here.

I’m 37, married with two kids. Flying to Scotland for a week next Monday.

Life is what you make it. I’m happier than I was at 22, no question.

I think it’s a matter of expectations. I use stock Ubuntu and GNOME and have almost zero customizations. I haven’t touched it except to upgrade since 2018 and have had zero issues. I get it though. I also use an M1 and love it.

I keep count! If I know I had 4 ideas on a run, I can usually bring them back to mind if I focus. Even holding my fingers in the four position with one down helps. Sounds a little odd but I’ve found I do my best work while walking the dog/going for a run and can’t usually make notes until I get home.

Yeah. I think it's silly to make the claim, by and large. For me, using vim is like a hobby. It helps me get into flow state because I have fun writing and editing code using an editor I know well, have configured, and can zip around in fast without touching the mouse. I never try to convince anyone else to use it, though if a coworker shows interest I'm more than happy to oblige. It's the right tool for me. VS Code and IntelliJ products are the right tools for others, and that's cool too.

My usual approach is to comment stuff out while debugging/developing. Works well.

Yeah, but man does he get some great guests from time to time. Really enjoyed Travis Oliphant and Todd Howard in addition to the ones the parent listed.

Y’all are one of my favorite podcasts. Loved the vim and neovim episodes. Heroku and Tauri ones too. Keep up the good work.

I got an SSL error, fyi. ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

Appreciate the insight. All fair points. I guess part of the problem is inertia and comfort level. You figure out how to do something well in one language and it gets harder to start from scratch in another one. Point is well made about the tooling and type system--I miss it when I work with anything else. But I end up accomplishing tasks much faster in Go than in Rust even if I'm not fighting the ownership system. I suppose these are the sorts of growing pains that go away in time.
